I like staying one more turn on 1 only with a great duplicate, ideally a divine shield. Otherwise level normally to 2 and maybe consider going tavern 3 on 6 gold since that allows you to fit the hero power. Play normally most of the game but try to fit the hero power when you think you have a board mostly of minions that you intend on keeping, it adds a lot of stats!

In order for you Heropower to generate you an advantage you need to use it early and often which means rafaarm curving. Has great Synergy with any of the Divine Shield minions on Tavern 1 if mechs are in the game
